摘要

Use of a polypeptide or a derivative or analog thereof, and method of prevention and / or treatment of a fungal contamination and / or by a prosthetist. The present invention relates to the use of polypeptides comprising repeats of a peptide derived from a Heparana Sulphate Proteoglycan receptor (HSPG) receptor binding region of an apolipoprotein for the treatment or prevention of a fungal or protist infection. The invention further relates to the use of such peptides for treating or preventing contamination of surfaces or objects with such peptides.
